Diezani slams N100bn libel suit against AGF, EFCC
Among other negative impacts of the reports, she averred that upon reading the online and hard copy publications, she was gravely shocked and exasperated.
As a result, she is demanding that the court orders the EFCC and the AGF to retract the publications and tender an unreserved apology to her in three national newspapers “for the false, injurious, malicious and libellous publications” against her since 2015 when she left the country. Furthermore, she is seeking a declaration by the court that the various publications on the EFCC website and other media houses are injurious to her personality and did as intended lower her reputation in the estimation of right-thinking members of the society within and outside Nigeria and also brought her ” into public ridicule, odium, contempt, derision and obloquy.”
Consequently, she is praying for an order restraining the defendants from further distributing or in any form or manner, the same or similar offensive libellous materials or stories of or concerning her. “An order directing the defendants jointly and severally to pay to the claimant the sum of N100,000,000,000.00 only as damages for the false, injurious, malicious and libellous publications against the claimant in the 1st defendant’s publishing platform, and at the instance of both the 1st and the 2nd Defendants.’All rights reserved.
